is said to have committed the crime for
- which he was convicted within the city
- -limits ef Portland, most of them in the
business districts. Only One or two of
the men sent from here have caused
the prison authorities any trouble, and

J ' "Bunko" Kelly, who is . officially
known as No. S.SSt. la by far .the beat
known prisoner both within the brick

Curtis. Kelly arrived at the peniten

serve the rest ' of his natural Ufa for
the murder of aged George W. Sayera,
; ., It is alleged that Bayers was to have
been ' a wltneas in an estate, case 1p
which Attorney X. 'N. 8teeves waa ln-
terested, and that the attorney wanted
the old man out: of the road.r At that
time -Kelly and Paddy Lynch were in
terested In a local sailor boarding-bouse,
and the story rune that they were hired
by Steeves to shanghai Bayers onto an
outward bound sailing ship. It Is de-
clared that when this was tried, the old
man showed fight and was killed. Kelly,
Kteevea and Lynch -were charged with
the murder, but only Kelly - was con-
" vlcted. . i -. .-'''.-.... v
' Throughout his own trial and during
the trials of the other prisoners Kelly
was close-mouthed and would give no
testimony damaging to any of the de
fendants, and since tils imprisonment
he has not let a word fall that would
throw any light on the death of the old
, man. ..-. -

"fl am innocent of the crime," declared
Kelly to a Journal reporter yesterday,
. "and I hope to live long enough to get
out of here.'
"How about that man Steeves T Do
you knew anything about his . wanting
fcayers out of the way T" was asked the
prisoner, i , ', , .
In an instant Kelly's eyee fell and he
. said, simply, .'Txhave nothing to say on
that subject. ,
"But, you know, Kelly, that lawyer
threw you down during the trial of your
case." pleaded the interpolator, ."and
. hundreds of people in Portland are wait
ing for you to tell the straight story
or that aitalr.-" .... ,.-.. ., ,. . .
"Nothing to say," was . the answer.
"I am here for life, but am told that It
years la called life in this state and
, have only about three more years here
at that rata. I may live it out; I may
not. - Have been troubled with my heart
a -good deal of late, and some nights
cannot aleep a wink. But I might mention-that
that fellow .Steeves hasn't
sent me one cent nor written to ni
sine I've been here." ' , ,v , ;
